If you want a home away from home, Rattan's place surely embodies it. She is kind, helpful, motherly, and will go out of her way to assist you. Her house is highly recommended for those who want a place away from the Bangkok noise. It is clean, efficient, and modern, complete with quick breakfast, snacks and hot drinks. The only challenge is that is it a 20 minute walk from Ladproa station. The best way to get around is by taxi. Highly recommended for long term stays. Rattana is a darling and will prepare you traditional Thai fare.
